Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.

Re: Gear Grinding 6: I'm So Over This.

They've started banning charity muggers in parts of the UK and Australia. Apparently they got way out of hand, flooding every major foot traffic area.

16th Street Mall is lousy with them.

These jokers set up on a street corner with the typical assortment of signs (errybody gon' hell, repent now, wages of sin is death, etc.) I hit the red light and one actually started WALKING UP TO MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. That is a no-go. Let's see you try that on the east side of Saginaw.

I guess overseas, they tend to work for big, scammy, corporate "charities", and they're essentially treated as salespeople. In exchange for getting people to sign up for a monthly, automatic donation (which requires giving them your bank or credit info - SMDH ), they get about 50%, the company gets about 40%, and 10% goes to the actual charitable work.

Word of advice to people. Don't parallel park 6 inches behind a truck with a receiver hitch. Its a dick move to begin with, and when I have a receiver hitch, I have no qualms about putting it through your chincy *** plastic Japanese bumper.

Did you leave a note saying "I'm writing this so the people watching will think I'm leaving my info, but you're a dick and deserve this damage so suck it!"?

No, it was too hot to get out of the truck again, the AC was going full force.

Honestly, if that's the only way to leave the parking space...

A few years ago, MNS was over here one night, and when he went to leave, found that the guy next to him left him no choice BUT to hit the car to get out. MNS actually called the police (911, due to the hour of night) to ask what to do. They flat out told him that no worries if/WHEN MNS hit the car. No harm, no foul.

I'd hope its more of a lesson learned, but someone that parks that close probably isn't smart enough to figure the lesson out.

Whatever it's still equally a dick move and the only one that intentionally caused damage.

In MNS' and bbdl's situation...

1. They have no authority to have a car towed for performing a crappy parking job.
2. They had to leave their parking spot.
3. In MNS' case, he got permission from the authorities themselves to hit the car to get out.

Again, if you have to leave, what are you supposed to do?

Except MNS didn't take pure pleasure in destroying someone else's property.

Look who we're talking about here. In both cases.

I fully admit, if some jack bag did that to me, even with permission from the authorities, I'd have fun doing it.

I didn't hit the car. Only had an inch or so of room, but managed not hit it.
